Photosynthesis begins when a network of pigment–protein complexes captures solar energy
and transports it to the reaction center, where charge separation occurs. When necessary …

In photosynthesis, light is harvested and its energy is used to produce the various biological
components that support nearly all life on earth. It is oxygenic photosynthesis that led to the …

Single-molecule spectroscopy was employed to elucidate the fluorescence spectral
heterogeneity and dynamics of individual, immobilized trimeric complexes of the main light …

The first event of photosynthesis is the harvesting of solar energy by a large array of
pigments. These pigments are coordinated to proteins that organize them to assure efficient …

Persistent spectral hole burning at 4.5 K has been used to investigate the excitonic energy
level structure and the excited state dynamics of the recombinant class-IIa water-soluble …

Photosynthesis is one of the most essential biological processes in which specialized
pigment-protein complexes absorb solar photons, and with a remarkably high efficiency …

Hypericin is one of the most efficient photosensitizers used in photodynamic tumor therapy
(PDT). The reported treatments of this drug reach from antidepressive, antineoplastic …

Strong excitonic interactions are a key design strategy in photosynthetic light harvesting,
expanding the spectral cross-section for light absorption and creating considerably faster …

Strong anticorrelation between the fluorescence emission of different emitters is observed by
employing single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy on photosystem I at cryogenic …

Plasmonic coupling of metallic nanoparticles and adjacent pigments can dramatically
increase the brightness of the pigments due to the enhanced local electric field. Here, we …
